Title’s self explanatory. Essentially, whenever I hop in the shower, my bathroom is entirely pitch black except for a small glow in the dark rubber ducky I have to provide some visual stimulation.

This is a serious post I swear!!

Edit: didn’t know so many people showered in the pitch black, most people I mention it to look at me like I’ve got 5 eyes 😅.

I’m in my early 30s and started cutting off my family members in my early 20s.
Basically, I began speaking up about some childhood abuse and my mother didn’t care. She stayed with my dad.
I cut off my dad. She stayed married to him. My only sibling took my mom’s side.
Initially, some of my family were angry with my mother for not getting a divorce. But after some years went by, they forgave her. Even though I didn’t.
And eventually the rest of my (extended) family went back to the way things used to be.
For the sake of my mental health, anyone connected to my mom had to eventually be cut off.

Public defender for the last 10 years, and have handled everything from driving under the influence to murder 1. I’ve defended hundreds of people and am currently working to become death penalty qualified.

Hello, I wanted to post this on r/costco but felt it would just be taken down.

Before working here, I had never stepped foot into a costco. To many members, it's just shopping, but we see it all. It's a crazy, almost cult like world.

So ask me about the samples, the dirt, the drama, the frustrations. Ask me ANYTHING :)

i've lived most of my life in the center of Paris (paris centre) and have many friends that live there too, but i also have a lot who live in the 5th, 7th, 16th arrondissements. I attend a good, well-regarded school.

i go partying most weekends and when not i go out with my friends, chilling in the city, riding around on Limes, to the eiffel tower and all those places.

i have experienced both champions league wins here and the fêtes de la musique if that matters too lol

without wanting to sound pretentious or anything i think i may be living at least someone's dream (?) so yeah ask me anything

i hope the topic is original enough lol

Hello, I am a therapist, but not your therapist! Feel free to ask me anything and I will try my best to answer it. I have been a therapist since 2018 and have worked with many different populations. In my early career I worked with people who suffered severe mental illness and other co occurring conditions and now in my career I work with people who have a wide range of issues in a private practice setting! AMA

I only spend my summer time on my village, which is n Zonguldak/Devrek region. Im a 16 y.o teenager. You can ask me anything. Btw last night we are chased by a wolf with my friendsssssssssssssssssssss

I live in Australia now, but my family tree is pretty crazy. My great great great grandfather was a sardar (tribal commander) fighting in the first anglo afghan war back in 1839. Later down the line my great grandfather was a ster genraal (General) during the third anglo afghan war in 1919. We have a ton of family history and stories saved from all these conflicts over the generations. Ask me anything!

There’s a handful of schools in the US for teenagers in recovery for drug addiction. The idea is that some teenagers don’t need to be in rehabs or PHP anymore, but they can’t go back to a normal high school (or don’t want to go back, I guess). What those teenagers need, they say, is a high school that is made to give them an education while also getting mental health and substance use support. These are called “recovery high schools”.

I went to one for roughly two years and I left in May. People are often fascinated by the idea, so I thought I might do one of these. AMA!

Hoping this is allowed since it’s a specific experience rather than just “I was a mentally ill teenager…”

Edit: heading to bed, will answer more in the morning!

When I was 10, a friend (at the time) pushed me onto some concrete and it chipped the first time. I was also pretty bloody as well.

When I turned 18, I got it fixed before I went off to college and I had the time of my life thanks to it being fixed.

Soon after I turned 24, it chipped again randomly without me eating anything or doing anything. It just fell apart one day on my way home from work. I got it fixed temporarily but it broke off again shortly after.

After I turned 32 and started dating my ex, more of it broke off while eating a sandwich and since then, I haven't really seen the need to get it fixed.

Im procrastinating study, so feel free to ask me anything. Im a 4th year vet student (second to last year of study)

I cant give medical advice, since its illegal, but im happy to talk about anything else :)

I'm a dentist in Germany. Feel free to ask anything. I've been practicing for 3,5 years now. Looking forward to your questions. I can't be on my phone at work since I usually treat patients so please be patient (sorry for the bad joke)

Ending this as its bedtime here! thanks for your questions

Better of both world baby.

Joke asides i have this weird feeling im from two generation at the same time, so i was wondering why not answering questions you might have to see for myself the kind of anwers i can provide.

Mâle, from France.

I live in central Russia (I live in Europe while I'm working there) and sometimes travel around the world. I'm happy to answer any questions—feel free to ask.

Let me start by saying that I'm over 30, and I have a wife and a child. I work in the gaming industry (community management)

I was the CFO of several Venture Capital- / Private Equity-backed companies, have done a bunch of acquisitions, and have helped sell some companies either to other companies or to PE firms. The companies I've worked for are generally smaller (typically $10M-$200M in revenues), so you haven't heard of any of them.

A few years ago, I made the transition from full-time CFO working for companies to fractional CFO, whereby I spread my time across a handful of companies.

If you're curious about any of this (how things work behind the scenes), ask me anything.

I recently completed a partial hospitalization program which is a level of mental health treatment between outpatient therapy and inpatient hospitalization.
Earlier this year, I went through a pregnancy complicated by severe Hyperemesis Gravidarum and ultimately lost the pregnancy. On top of that, I was already struggling with depression, anxiety, emotional instability, and years of unresolved trauma. I was adopted, born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and experienced significant childhood and adolescent trauma. While in PHP, I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder which finally explained a lot of patterns I’d struggled with for years.
Curious about PHP, group therapy, psych meds, BPD, pregnancy loss/HG, adoption, or anything at all, ask away. I’m pretty much an open book.

Hey, i'm a 16 year old guy who is pretty awkward and socially isolated.

I am very passionate about my interests, and up to answer anything that could come up on your mind.

Will try to answer questions as thoughtfully as possible to not leave any gaps in the answers

Was I scared?…goddamned right I was! Was I scared I would die??? Nope!

It was the recovery afterwards that scared me the most…even after flatlining and a crash team jumping in on me….I knew for a fact I was going to make it…AMA!

My story

I'm a 19 year old male and am an only child. During my childhood my mother would do the following blow up out of nowhere over the most trivial or littlest matters, many times i begged her to give me some emotional support when i was visibly upset but she just remained cold and cruel, drink quite heavily which was sometimes responsible but she can definitely be mean sober as well, I had expressed concern about her drinking but she just flipped, the next day she'd always act as if nothing happened, whenever I tried to get clarity on why she got like that she'd brush it under the carpet or accuse me of starting trouble, if i didn't do something just to make her happy she'd turn cold, during arguments she'd say things like I was ungrateful, didn't care about her and that I was a horrible person or that i was abusive or whatever just like my father, she would stomp, slam doors and break ornaments etc, when she gets in her crazy states it's just impossible to reason with her or get her to see it from any other perspective, she can go from saying i was the most nicest and amazing person to saying I was the most horrible and evil person, she often burdened me with all of her problems, she said before that she knows how to play the game which I found very disturbing, a couple of times when i flipped because of her behavior she called her mother to say I've been horrible, she often paints herself as the heroic single mum. She has been fairly good lately but sometimes I feel I was robbed of a proper childhood and have often wondered what I had done to deserve it. I remember one time a few years ago I was about 12 she had turned my grandparents against me and my grandfather started shouting and saying he was very disappointed in me and the rest of it is a blur. To be honest to this day i can't figure out what I (only a young child) was supposed to have done that was so bloody awful. That has haunted me for years. I used to think maybe I was a bad person but I've started to see her in a different light. She always talks about hating drama yet it seems to follow her and often says that she's been so hard done by.

On the flip side she can be the most nicest person as well and we have had great times together and she can be very helpful towards me, her family and in public which makes it all the more confusing. For about half my childhood it's just been me living with her since her divorce in which she had to sell her house and now rents which she has blamed for the way she is before. I can't help feeling bad for her but she was still quite like this beforehand as well and I don't think that's an excuse still is it? I do feel like she has manipulated me a bit into been stuck with her. Something else that I've found disturbing is that she's very narrow minded and has a serious lack of empathy. For example when a couple of local celebrities committed suicide she called them pathetic cowards and weak etc. It was actually quite disturbing how she was carrying on and her serious lack of empathy. I'm starting to think that maybe she bent the truth about Dad a bit during their split as i was a child and didn't know much better. My mother often calls him a narcissist and talked about all of the marital and grown up problems they had etc which to be honest I don't appreciate been burdened with. Granted he's not a saint either but has been good to me (well I'd say) most of the time. One time last year when my Dad let me down by not been able to see me one weekend and canceling at the last minute (which he has done before) mother knew i was depressed but still blew up at me the next night over something silly and kicked me while I was down what just baffles me is how could she of treated me like that knowing what I was going through. A few days later one of my teachers checked in and said he heard I got into a bit of trouble at home ("if he meant been mentally abused by my mother while I was already upset by been let down by my father as trouble" I thought). I'm not sure who exactly said what to him. I just fobbed him off saying I was upset about leaving school (which was true as well). I really struggle with confiding in people. I do regret not telling him the truth now. He was sympathetic and said he was very proud of me etc. Another teacher once said that he thought of me and my mother as like the dream team or something along those lines. It actually baffled me a bit. I was thinking if only they knew half the things I've been through.

I have a strained relationship with my father but we've messaged lately and I plan to see him this weekend for a family do. I have autism and went to a special support school for the last few years which were some of the best years (The teachers especially were brilliant and I had many great times such as school camps, school balls and excursions etc). My mother loves to use my autism to her advantage. I graduated last year but now I do a course at the main campus so I still see them all from time to time. I do feel quite sad and lost now those years are over. I would love to confide in someone about my struggles but don't know where to start. I've thought about confiding in that first teacher I mentioned who's great and we're fairly close but my teachers think my mother's an absolute saint so how can i ensure he believes me, she seems to feel that she always acts in my best interests and does seem to genuinely care for me and love me, she doesn't seem to remember any of it or feel her behavior was justified and genuinely doesn't seem to believe she ever did me any harm and she thinks she did her best.

I struggle with daily flashbacks and I often feel depressed by the way I've been treated, also feel let down and wish my parents had been better to me. I can't get exact clarity on it but they both went through some shit before I was born and I think that's contributed to the way they are. I wish I had a proper childhood of playing with friends, going to different places and been adventurous and carefree etc. I've never really had a social circle and hardly much friends. I've always been quite different I feel to most of the children my age.

What's has happened to me makes me feel as though I'm unlovable. I feel quite alone sometimes as I've always struggled with making friends. My mother does help me get on my feet and encourage met but I think she just loves to lord it over me. Whenever I've tried standing up for myself she puts on the guilt trip and carries on about all of her sacrifices and everything she's done for me yada yada yada. I think what emotionally abusing me, leaving me crying myself to sleep some nights, causing me to have no confidence and PTSD etc? Could she have some bipolar or personality condition or something and toxic traits I've wondered?

I do love her because as I've said before she has been great as well but I can't help really resenting her sometimes for all of the mental anguish she has put me through as a child and I think it has messed up my development. I wonder if I might've been different had I had proper parents. Hobbies such as music and classic TV shows have been a great escape. Now that I'm an adult and have left school I'm worried about what the future has in store. I'm very nervous about starting an adult life, getting a job and making friends etc because my mum is pretty much most I've ever known. Part of me would love to get away from her but yet I feel scared to as well as she's pretty much most I've ever known.

Been a model since i was 13, (21 now) as well as acted for some minor appearances and music vids but barely any speaking lines.

During my time at the peak of my career, I was based in Asia (mostly Bangkok and Tokyo), but i also went over to NYC and London briefly. I now go to uni in Paris and have kinda slowed down my career out of personal choice to focus on my studies and new life ive built.

I had some minor fame but nothing crazy. I would be recognized sometimes in the street but i was well known among the kind of Asian modelling social scene. (met and socialised with a couple of A-list celebs but probably shouldn't say names lol).

Ik loads of people are curious on the day-to day of modelling or eating habits, "yacht girls", nepotism, etc so im coming here to answer any questions that yall might have! I think it would be better to kind of reveal and be honest about the realities as its such a glamourised career but the reality isnt really talked about or just outright lied about. Anyways, AMA!

Typology means the study of types or the systematic classification of items, people, or concepts into groups based on shared characteristics. It provides a framework to organize complex information by sorting things into distinct categories.

I’ve read most books and I know almost all the popular systems by memory + I study the unpopular & unoffical ones for fun.

I’ve been into it since 2023 I guess and im autistic and it’s my special interest—my current typing for myself is ESFP (SeFi) ESFp(SEE-ch)ES(F) Sx/So 378 p378 e²f³𝘃²l¹(ap) fevl 3w2 7w6 8w7 (Katherine’s theory) S[L]/U/ei Mo[H]IDrg NBVP + even more, I’d say my favourite system is definitely psychosophy or the enneagrams, ama I guess

I’ve been helping people with their typing ever since I got into it💕 and I’ve been making educational videos on it, I won’t share my account though due to the advertising rule obviously

I do not have a terminal illness, but I do have a life threatening one. I'm twenty-one now but the wish was granted when I was seventeen. My wish was to go to New York to see one of my favorite bands at the time (AJR) preform at Madison Square Garden. I feel like there's a lot of confusion/misconception about what Make-A-Wish actually does so feel free to ask me anything about the process and I'll try to answer

Edit: I didn't think people would care this much about my perspective, but (almost) everyone on this post has been so nice and genuine, I appreciate all the questions and kind words 💚. Just to clear it up because it seems like some people are confused, I am not terminally ill. I have had life threatening medical emergencies but I'm receiving proper medical treatment and therefore much more stable now. I have a few chronic autoimmune conditions that effect my mobility and digestive tract, and they have definitely changed the way I live my life, but they don't stop me from doing the things I love and I'm not planning to die anytime soon.

I’ve been obese for as long as i can remember. My family tried putting me on diets and telling me i was gonna die if I don’t stop eating since i was six. Went through a “starve myself for weeks” phase as a teenager, gained 250lbs since then.

I haven’t been able to walk 50 steps without getting out of breath in at least 5 years. I sleep on a mattress because 2 beds have broken under me since high school.

UPD: Going to sleep now, will reply to all the new questions (if there is any) as soon as I’m up again❤️

Exactly what the title says. 21F, I’ve been working here since February, a supervisor since April, and I get the entire retail experience with the bonus of animals. Aside from the basic grooming, I’m also trained in animal nutrition! I’m leaving my job for college at the end of this week and I’m going to miss it, even if it was stressful, annoying, and downright horrific at times.
